if you look at short range br match reports you will see lt31 listed as powder used by some.

How much LT32 do you start out with?

Nick! How’s the blizzard? Here’s my test with Berger 68s with 4 thou neck tension. I couldn’t find the right bushing for 2. This was shot off a wobbly portable bench. My scope bases were loose for 27.4 and 27.6.
It's cold here but the snow is gone for a while. I will file this away till it gets warmer. Hope you are enjoying the weather down there.

Yup! It was 70 this afternoon after being 50 this morning. I have to keep changing shirts.
That's it, rub it in.

Nick! Notice the .1 grain increases. I was focused in this small spread because “the guys” said I’d find magic there.

Being able to shoot all year around isn't so bad either. Hope you took plenty of bullets and powder with you this time.

Nick! I have plenty of everything! I kinda feel a little guilty when I see everybody scrambling to find stuff. Example: I have 10 pounds of Varget sitting on a shelf next to an 8 of H335. I have bullets coming out my wazoo. That’s why I sent you some and sent some other guys some. I don’t like seeing guys struggle. I sold all my BR-4s to a guy close by because he needed them. Always the Capitalist, I made $4 on each K!
You got your bullets at Christmas! Can’t charge at Christmas! That’s not in the Spirit!

I know about your generosity and your willingness to share, first hand. You have saved my but more than once. Like you, when I see something I use, I try to get as much as I think I will need for a few years. I also like to share when I can. It always makes me smile when I can help someone.
Wow, a whole $4.00 profit. That's usery.

AFAIK LT-30 and LT-32 are the same powder, as it comes off the manufacturing process. They are graded and sorted by burn rate, and the fast stuff gets sold as LT-30 and the slow stuff as LT-32. So mixing them isn't like mixing two different powders, but more like mixing two lots of the same powder, which people do all the time.

Its a good first choice. There are a few others but v-133 seems work well. Just fill the case to the top, brush off a little room for the bullet and go. Anything else is well BS.
Best probably so. Only problem with it is it has more mood swing then a teenage girl. Cool weather it's a model citizen. 133 will shoot smaller groups for me but LT32 will agg better. 8208 will do the same but is becoming short supply. To me both LT and 8208 easier to tune and keep there then 133.

I struggle with V-133 for years, but one day the light came on.
If you can use the same bullet, either by making your own or buying several Thousand once you settle on whats working for you it will help in your success.

Jimmy, 27.4 with 68 gr works well for me. Missed you Sat, hope to see you again.
Turned out that LT32 was not the exact copy of the original T-32. Just like when they came out with LT30. The pre LT30 that Lou was working with Western Powder with was not the same as the post LT30 that they released in 2015.
